Granny Swordswoman, have they woken up?
I've used up all my energy
Those two lazy bums simply wouldn't stir
They didn't even open their eyes
It was exasperating
Granny Swordswoman, you have to resort to extreme measures...
to deal with inveterate lazy bums
Weixiong, Fada is lazy,
but he's my only grandson
Xiaoying is my late husband's nephew
You think I'm going to splash the boiling water over them?
This isn't your extreme measure?
Of course not
I'm boiling water to make coffee for you and myself
To deal with the lazy bums,
you've got to do the opposite
It's snowing!
Aunt, you're out of your mind
Well?
Are you wide awake?
This is too much!
Everything's wide awake
I'm so tired
Get to work
Get to work? - Yes
You start work at 8. It's a quarter to 8 now
You have 10 minutes to get ready
Are you kidding me?
I got my CV out only last night...
and I'm starting work today?
ls there a labour shortage?
Before you find a permanent job,
get a temp one first
Leave me out of your squabble with your husband
What did you say?
Sorry
I meant, leave me out of your squabble...
with your future husband
Why are you laughing?
It's funny
How is it funny?
It's totally funny. We were childhood sweethearts
You've been dying to marry me since we grew up
Even my super daft uncle can see that
You're too desperate, Teddy
Who are you calling desperate? Who wants...?
I see evil in your eyes
What do you have up your sleeve?
You and your uncle are birds of a feather
I know you're trying to get me to leave
Listen - dream on!
You don't know what you're up against
Weixiong is a judge and a lawyer in the making
Did you think she'd be taken in?
You have five minutes left!
Stop it! I'm going deaf!
They saw through it
I can't help you anymore. Good luck
Uncle, you're not getting off lightly
Granny Swordswoman woke you up for a reason
Yes. You also have to work
I won't tolerate freeloaders in this house
What are you saying, Aunt?
I've just closed a deal
That's why I had to entertain the client till the small hours
I know. Your client's surname is Ou
The name's Jin... - I must get ready
I also have a share in the deal
What share? You're so full of crap
You're weird
Weixiong woke you up this early...
because she wants you to get a job and earn money
Young people must be able to take hardships if they want to rise above others
Take hardships? Go do hard labour
Rise above others?
If you rise above others,
you can rake it in even when you're sitting here
A moron must have said that
Stop your nonsense and get up
What? Don't I have five minutes?
You've wasted it on your drivel
You are...?
Who's he, Weixiong?
He's Zhou Fada and he's Long
Just call me Big Brother (da ge da)
Big Brother? He was a triad member?
No
He used to tell people Dakota was his turf
So people started calling him that
I see. Dakota sounds like da ge da
It's not funny
Come in
You want me to join a triad?
What?
Those chaps look so menacing
They're obviously from the underworld
We were secret society members
But we've mended our ways, any problem with that?
No, none at all
This moving company...
was set up by Long and his brothers
Moving company?
You want me to do hard labour?
You always say you're wise...
and you have Herculean strength
It's time you put it to good use
Long also donates half of his earnings...
to charity
That's a good deed
Why not donate it to me?
Please be more serious
Your grandma is getting on
You're going to have to take care of her in future
You can't drift through life like this anymore
What do you mean, "drift through life"?
Unless you marry me
Let me make this clear to you
If you scoot off,
I don't ever want to see you again
You hear me?
OK
Long, I'll get going
OK. Want me to call a taxi for you?
No, thanks
By the way, he hasn't had breakfast
OK, I'll take care of it
You haven't had breakfast? - Yes
But we've eaten. Wait for lunchtime
Gather around and say a prayer
Gather around and pray
Long, I've a question - Shoot
I'm a Buddhist
No worries. We'll each do our own thing
Come here
Come, let's say a prayer
This is my chance
If you scoot off
I don't ever want to see you again
You hear me?
Teddy has a nasty temper
She means what she says
Kang
Wake up
Leave me alone
Get up, Kang
Leave me alone!
Your sis is back. Get up
Get up - No
Mum, why are you so kind to him?
Get up!
What? Hands off!
Do you know what time it is now?
It's none of your business!
Xiong, leave him be
Kang, your sis is right
Instead of going to a private university,
go get a job...
and study at the open university in your free time
What a load of crap
Don't take that tone with Mum
Aren't I right?
How do you find the energy to study after work?
I'm not you. I know you're a top student
I'm not you, OK?
And stop telling me what she said
Why must everyone listen to her?
Don't take your anger out on Mum
Your dad was on the night shift. Don't wake him up
Hui! Hui!
What is it, Mum?
My back hurts. I've fallen into the toilet bowl!
Mum, open the door
Is Grandma OK?
I've fallen into the toilet bowl
Mum, unlock the door
I'll help you up. Help me, Xiong
Don't help me up. I haven't cleaned my bottom
Clean your bottom first. Then we'll help you up
My back hurts. I can't bend down
Clean it for me
Do it!
I've to stay here for a couple of days
If you keep up the ruckus, our neighbours will call the police
Why don't you kill me too?
I would
I know you would. The prison is like a second home to you
Why don't you just kill me?
I won't have to put up with you anymore
Is your heart made of stone?
You want to sever ties with me?
I've long severed ties with you
But you just won't stop harassing me
Get it in your head, Guan A-li. We're already divorced
Stop harassing me every few days
Divorced? That was a low trick
You filed for divorce...
while I was serving time
I won't agree to it!
So what? The judge has granted it
Get out!
You're waking the neighbours up
I'm going to wake the whole world up
Are you done?
Don't make me call the police
Is this how you talk to your dad?
The cheek to call yourself my dad
I'm embarrassed even if you're not
You should've stayed locked up until you die
Don't say anymore. Go back to sleep
He's making such a din. I can't sleep
Huang Lili, is this how you raise our daughter?
She has no respect for me
She hasn't greeted me once...
since my release from prison
I'd sooner call any man out there Dad
You...
She said it - you have a lover
Dad, Mummy doesn't have a lover
Don't say that of her
You don't know anything
During the three years I was inside,
I bet she was lonely
She's a cougar
How is she a cougar?
Guan Meimei
No one will think you're a mute if you keep your mouth shut
Yes, l was lonely
Yes, I'm a cougar
I have many lovers
I can't live without men
I wish I'd felt lonely much earlier...
so I'd have got myself a lover sooner
I regret getting together with you and not another man...
when I was 18
You slut!
I'll get...
How dare you!
Get out! - Stop it, Dad!
Stop it, Meiyu! Please stop!
Mummy, help me! Mummy!
Dad, don't hit Meiyu! Stop it, Dad!
Please stop!
Mummy!
You... I'm going to kill you!
Enough!
If you hit them again, I'll kill you with this chopper!
You're nuts!
You drove me nuts!
Are you leaving? Are you leaving or not?
If you're not leaving, then I am
Get out!
Are you girls OK?
Yes
Dad only wanted to frighten Meiyu. He didn't strike me hard
If you call him Dad again, I'll slap you
Don't play the hero next time
I won't thank you for shielding me
I didn't ask you to thank you
What's going on downstairs? It's so noisy
Guan A-li must be causing havoc again
That psycho starts a row once every few days
Should we call the police?
No, he's a neighbour
But I can forget about sleeping
Ming, Mum's old ailment is acting up again
She couldn't get up in the toilet
She plays mahjong all day long
She'll be fine
I was thinking,
shall we change the squat toilet to a sit-down toilet?
That'd spare Mum from the squatting
That's a bad idea
Mum's a real headache
She'll blame you if she can't move her bowels
Besides, we're moving out soon
She's been groaning
Why don't you take her to see a doctor and get a jab?
It's a rare day off for me
You take her
I've to deliver the clothes
Take her to see a doctor,
then deliver the clothes
It's hot
Hurry
It's heavy
We sure are lucky
The lift's broken down. Let's take the stairs
It's on the 11th storey. Go!
Seriously? Why does it have to break down now?
The 50-year-old lifts in Dakota are more reliable than it
My sentiments exactly
You can either do it or not do it
If you won't do it, I'll call a taxi for you
I'll do it
Hang on
You're so scrawny. Choose something lighter
This is too heavy
No worries, I can handle this
I'm very hardworking
You OK? - Yeah
Hurry up, guys
Move it
Hurry
You didn't eat?
Darn that Teddy for getting me this job
You OK?
You've damaged the cabinet
What's going on?
Nothing
Nothing, my foot!
My back!
I've hurt my back
You've hurt your back? - Yes
Too bad I can't lend you my back
Any idea how important a man's back is?
My... - You OK?
Yes - You sure?
I'm not OK! - You're not?
Call a cab for me
OK
If you know yourself, you can fight it out in this world
Even if you rise or you lose, you can still live life with dignity
Who's that?
Uncle Hai!
Guang, where's Uncle Hai?
Uncle Hai's in hospital
Come and take a look
Where to?
Woman! Dead!
Guang, she's dead
Guang
Mister, you didn't take my money
Gopal, I know her
You know her? - What now?
She's dead. Do this. Go...
You... - Guang!
Just bear with it
Bear with it? You're not helping at all
If I could bear with it, I wouldn't be screaming in pain
What rotten luck
This hurts a lot
Mum
I have to sit down
I need to rest for a bit
It really hurts
Stop doing that! You're making it worse
Call an ambulance!
What are you waiting for?
Call an ambulance
I want to go to a hospital
Mum, I...
Last week, Uncle Chun passed out at home
His daughter-in-law called an ambulance
When he got to the hospital, a doctor saw him right away
What's more, it was free
Mum, that was an emergency
If it's not an emergency,
the ambulance ride isn't free
I'm in so much pain that I can't even walk
Isn't it an emergency?
All right, you sit down. I'll make the call
Forget it. By the time you make the call, I will have died
Let's go
Easy
Mum, let's go this way
Why? It's a longer way
Go up the stairs and we're there
This is a ramp for disabled people
It's better for you to go this way
Are you calling me useless now?
Give me a piggyback up
You're all ﬂesh and no bones
But you can't even carry a skinny old lady like me
Careful! You want me to fall down?
I thought someone was trying to touch me,
so I...
You were checking if I was dead or not?
Gopal said you were mati
"Ma Di"?
Mari is Malay for dead
Is this the one?
Yes!
I'm really sorry
Mister
I'm sorry. Sorry...
It's OK
It's not OK
If people see me like this,
they will ask lots of questions
Do you have sunglasses?
This will have to do for now
It's funny?
No, it's not
Have you found your friend?
No
Oh yes
I forgot to show you this photo the other day
Have you seen him?
No
This is odd. He says he lives here
I've asked lots of people,
but no one knew him
I was out till late looking for him yesterday,
so I found a place to rest
But I fell asleep instead
You didn't tell him you were coming?
No, I wanted to give him a surprise
You don't have his phone number?
I did before he changed his number
I kept calling when I was at the airport,
but I couldn't reach him
He said he lived in Dakota Crescent, a high-end housing estate
He said this place wasn't huge...
Stop
This isn't a high-end housing estate
It's a rental flat estate
Rental flat estate?
People rent the flats from the government cheaply
Poor people live here
It's not a high-end housing estate
But he said that in his letter to me
Mum, your number is 5
I'm going to deliver the clothes
If I'm not back when it's your turn,
the nurse will help you in
Go now. Don't take all day
These place names have "Wan" in their names
These are posh places where posh people live
Try these places
Thanks, mister
Although we hardly know each other,
you're so helpful towards me
No wonder people say...
Singapore is a wonderful place
I won't go elsewhere to look for him, though
I'm sure he lives here
He probably didn't want me to worry,
so told me he was living in a high-end estate
I'll find him for sure
Ou Jinguang
Are you enacting a scene from A Better Tomorrow?
Or you put on the sunglasses...
to impress a pretty customer?
But the size doesn't seem right
What happened to your eye? You got punched?
I didn't get punched
No? How come you have a shiner?
It was an accident
An accident?
You had an accident from staring into space?
Life is as unpredictable as the weather
Where's your uncle?
How should I know?
Are you looking for me or him?
Since I couldn't find him, I looked for you instead
Why are you looking for him?
He took my ATM card yesterday...
and hasn't returned it
Hello - What are you doing here?
To look for a lawyer. Isn't this a law firm?
What lawyer?
This lawyer
I have no time to play games with you
You looked just like a lawyer walking out like that
If you told people you're just a receptionist,
nobody would believe you
Not everyone can be a receptionist here, OK?
Of course
Did you enjoy last night's feast?
Honestly, I don't remember it
It may be a feast to you,
but it's a normal meal for me
Just say why you're here and leave
I came specially to deliver something to you
It's lunchtime. Let's go eat
I've made a reservation
It's just an excuse to eat with me
If you won't come,
you'll regret it
Hui, these few pieces are urgent
Get them altered first
Sure
Xiao Jiahui
Don't knit your brows
You're Xiao Jiahui
You are...?
Are you kidding?
Don't you recognize this famous Hong Kong celeb?
Nicholas Tse's...
father
Xie Xian?
It's been ages since I acted
No wonder you didn't recognize me
You still like to crack jokes
Omigod!
Come here
Xiao Jiahui
How could you!
You didn't show up at our class gatherings
Everyone missed you a lot,
especially us guys
You were our goddess
You love to crack jokes
I think you left after secondary two
Which school did you transfer to?
I didn't. I quit school
Are you here for a meal?
Lor mee
You live nearby?
I'm leaving. I can give you a lift
No, thanks. I'll walk home
Bye
What's wrong?
How could you!
We're old classmates
I'll give you a lift
Come
Xie Xian!
Xie Xian
Get in
Goddess
Careful
Watch your head
Easy
Xie Xian, I don't want to trouble you
It's OK
Where do I go?
Did I say I wanted to go into business with you?
Did I tell you to ask Guang for money?
Hello? Speak louder. I can't hear you
Stop pretending
We're good friends
Let's spread the dough around
OK, I'll call you. Bye
You should believe in luck
When you're on a lucky streak, money rolls in...
like a tsunami
Ajussi, I work in a law firm
I've seen all kinds of rich people
The truly wealthy don't trumpet their wealth
You're right
We should keep a low profile
Let's go for the cheaper set lunch
Keep a low profile
You've spent all your money?
Of course not. When I paid up yesterday,
I took out wads of cash
A toad will always stay a toad
It'll never turn into a frog
A toad shouldn't lust after a swan's ﬂesh
Know where you stand
Yes, you're a swan
But I'm not a toad
You know what I am?
I'm a roc. My cries will astound you
When I fly, I soar through the skies
What are you talking about?
More like you crash into a wall
Enough nonsense. What do you have for me?
Great. Your hand's stretched out
Close your eyes - Why?
Close your eyes
This is stupid
No peeking
If you put on a ring,
you'll get it from me
The 10-carat diamond I'm going to give you...
is still being polished
What I'm giving you...
is more precious than a 10-carat diamond
It's priceless
How much do you have in your account?
$5,000
There's only $1,000 left
Why?
You can only withdraw $2,000 a day
That's $4,000 over two days
So you have $1,000 left
But I told your uncle to withdraw only $2,000
Did he say yes?
Yes
Yes? You're done for
Don't you know what my uncle's like?
He never keeps his word
When he says OK, it's not OK
Trusting your ATM card to him is just stupid
You even gave him your PIN
But he said you'd said OK
I also heard you say OK
Say OK
What? - OK
OK
You heard that?
You said, if Big Brother says it's OK, then it's OK
Give me your ATM card
I don't care what he said
Even if the person asking for the ATM card and PIN...
were your dad,
you should tell him to get lost
Unless you have too much money
But you're the person I trust most...
and also my only friend
That's true
You're lucky to have a loyal friend like me,
a friend who would stab himself in the bottom for you
Stop. The expression mentions the ribs, not the bottom
Only a fool would stab himself in the ribs
He'd surely die
You stab yourself in the bottom
It's fleshier
Don't you worry
Even if my uncle cleans out your $5,000,
I'll pay you back double
$5,000 doubled is...
$10,000
Smart
Stop yelping, you stupid dog
Go on, bark
I'll kick you. Stupid dog
Why are you taking your anger out on a dog?
Like human beings, dogs have rights too
Don't bully them
Stallone will leave you alone if you don't bother him
If you bother him, he may go "woof!" and bite you
You're nuts. Shut your trap!
Stay out of his way. He's a psycho
Stallone, are you OK?
Bark twice if you're not OK, and once if you are
What? Got it
It's not about being OK or not
It's about respect
Right, I'll teach that scumbag a lesson
Heard that, Hothead?
Dogs deserve our respect, too
I'm in a foul mood. Stay away!
What?
He beat Potty Mouth so badly that he spat blood, remember?
So what?
Boss
One lighter
Get the money from my wife
I'll burn it all
Leave that psycho alone
My dad says...
he has no qualms about hitting people and no fear of going to jail
He's already landed 10 people in hospital
Did you hear what he said?
Yes. He asked me to get the money from his wife
He also said he was going to burn it all
Hothead bought kerosene and lighter
He also said he was burning it all
What's he going to set fire to?
You can open your eyes now
What's this?
This is the priceless treasure you told me about
Ajussi, do you take me for a fool?
Nobody would notice it if it were on the ground
Priceless treasure, my foot
Don't take it off. It's a treasure
Treasure? It's so tacky
These cosmos beads are rare and very precious
What beads?
You know what dzi beads are
Bet you've never heard of cosmos beads
I chose them specially for you
It's highly coveted...
and is able to transform your destiny
It was blessed by an eminent Rinpoche
Many Hong Kong celebs...
are his disciples
And you know what?
They've been raking it in
Is it really that magical?
It'll make your dreams come true,
be it striking it rich...
or marrying a rich man
Trust me, I won't lie to you
A feng shui master may dupe you for years,
but I won't
You'll see results in about 10 days
You've got to believe me
It'd better be true
Or else, you're toast
Meiyu!
Up here!
Mummy says don't go home
Take refuge in Granny Swordswoman's place
What's going on?
Brother Big Brother said Dad had gone to Uncle Hai's shop...
to buy a lighter and kerosene,
and said he was going to burn it all
Burn it all? Set fire to us?
I don't know
Where's Mummy?
Mummy said she wanted to pack up some important stuff
She asked me to come to Granny Swordswoman's place...
and see if you were back
What are you doing?
That psycho has gone upstairs
I don't know if my mummy's still at home
I told her to do the 72 transformations and flee
Sorry, fleeing is one of the 36 Stratagems
It's Monkey King and his 72 transformations
I've no time for your nonsense
Where are you going?
To save my mummy
That psycho will burn it all down
Saving people is a dangerous plus heroic act
It's to be carried out by...
my uncle
Uncle! Good!
Open the door
Open up, wretch! I know you're inside
No!
It's your chance to be a hero. Where are you going?
You're out of your mind
He has a foul temper. Don't push me
Seriously? You're not even scared of the loan sharks
You cheated my buddy out of his money...
and didn't lose sleep over it
Why should Hothead scare you?
Go!
Uncle, you OK?
There you go again
I tell you to take care of your own health,
but you're always fooling around
You're only in your 30s and your limbs have gone all weak
You can't breathe?
Don't die. Please don't die, Uncle
Don't abandon me
Hothead!
Hothead! Save him!
Save him! - Don't push me
Save him
I don't know how to
Give him CPR
I don't know CPR
You were an ambulance driver
You can do it
Who said I was an ambulance driver?
People say you were a driver
What vehicle was it if it wasn't an ambulance?
I drove a hearse!
You're amazing
You pass out and come to at the snap of a finger
I feel the pressure, you know
Since you're fine, let's go - I'm fine
What ﬂoor is this?
Sixth
Your illness acted up as soon as you got into the lift
How did we end up on the sixth ﬂoor?
I'm OK now - Let's go
Loonies
I don't believe this
He earns just $50 a month
You knew that,
but you tried to take his $5,000
It's $4,000. From $4,000 to $40,000
I'm making his money grow. It's called investment
Brother Big Brother
What are you doing outside?
My door's never locked
Whoever needs help can take refuge in my flat
Mummy says it's not nice to enter a flat without asking
Treat it as your own place
Let's go in
Come in. Make yourselves comfortable
Sorry for troubling you
Come off it
This is like a convenience store
It's open 24/7
You can come and go as you like
But if you need help, go to him
I'm very busy
I've to take care of my businesses
Brother Big Brother
Just call me Big Brother
You don't like to be called Fada
Calling you "Big Brother" isn't respectful enough
So I added a "Brother" in front
I see. It makes sense
Brother Big Brother, my dad...
I told you not to call that scumbag that
You want him to be your dad?
Go back, let him kill you
Stop it
Your temper's as nasty as that scumbag's
Don't lump me together with him
Hand in hand, we're a family
Let's not argue or fight
You love me and I love you
Brother Big Brother, what song is that?
It's called A Family Hand In Hand
I wrote it
I plan to send it to the TV station to be used as a theme song
Is it nice?
So nice that you're speechless?
Li, stay in this five-star hotel for the time being
Your room's over there. It comes with a luxury bunk bed
Food and drinks are free. You may call room service anytime
If you need a butler, he's your man
What? You're nuts
Want to read it?
Brother Big Brother, you're funny
Sorry to trouble you - No worries
Mummy, you really want to stay here?
For the time being
When that psycho loses his mind,
he's capable of anything
He and I are enemies from a previous life
I can't run away from him
But I don't want you girls to be dragged into this
He keeps harassing you...
because you're not ruthless with him
I'm calling the police
You need to calm down. He's your father
He just got out of jail
So what?
He should be kept behind bars forever
As long as he's a free man,
there's a chance we could be set on fire
It was only Fada's suspicion
That psycho might not have come to set fire
So he wanted to have a barbecue?
I'm cooking instant noodles. Anyone want some?
Me - OK. Come with me
Meiyu, you want some?
You can eat and stay here for all I care
Meiyu!
Smells good
Hand in hand, we're a family
Let's not argue or fight
You love me and I love you
Let's add an egg
The blood-curdling knocking is right on cue
Hothead's here?
More terrifying than Hothead
Lazy Bum, open the door
It's Weixiong
Yes, she's terrifying
Meimei, eat your noodles here
Even if you hear anything terrifying,
don't go out
Come in. The door's open
Lazy Bum
Lazy Bum, are you all right?
Yes. I'm invincible and unbreakable
I'm very good
Don't try to be brave
Long said you'd ignored your own safety,
stopped the falling cabinet and hurt yourself
Ignored my own safety? I like that
Long is my idol
Long said he'd wanted to take you to hospital,
but you turned him down
That didn't feel right on my first day of work
I'm fine
I'll be fine after a rest
I'm going back to work tomorrow
I won't let you down
Work?
You injured yourself. You can't work
Here
Don't try to be brave. I'll take you to the hospital
No, thanks
No? What if you develop complications?
Oh dear
What's wrong?
People say...
a man's virility will be affected if he hurts his back
I'm not going to have children
I should've listened to my grandma and married sooner,
so there's someone to carry on the family name
If you want to have children, go to the hospital
I'll play the hand I was dealt
Teddy, go find someone else
What are you saying?
I hurt my back, I can't have children
I can't let you live like a widow
It's inhuman
You're so full of nonsense
That's another injury
Serves you right
